I am Number Four

Movie Name: I am Number Four
Genre: Action, Drama, Romance
Language: English

The movie is based on the young adult novel of the same name by “Pittacus Lore”. I was interested in the movie as it seemed to provide all the elements for a good action-fantasy movie which I am fond of.

The story of the movie is about an alien boy from planet Lorian who lives among human. His race was destroyed by another alien race Mogadorians that is still in search of him and his remaining friends. The story follows typical plots with all the elements of a Superhero movie like love affair with college sweetheart, a bully who also likes the girl, a boy who is bullied and later saved by hero and one protector whop sacrifices himself saving the hero. Nothing out of ordinary exists. But the movie can be considered as the first installment among the many.

It is not a pure action movie, rater it is an action drama film. The action sequences and graphic are good. Villains do not seem to have much power compared to the hero. Dialogues and music both do not score high. It is mediocre movie. The acting is not great either. Alex Pettyfer failed to portray the inner turmoil of the character. So the drama part of the movie seems to fall apart somehow.

My ratings are 2.5/5.0
